      We had a great time at our Middle School Football Camp at RHS this week. Our players are working hard and improving each day. I am very proud of our team for what they have accomplished so far this summer!!!!      Here is the schedule for the remainder of this week and for next week. We will have a MAD Day workout tomorrow / Friday during our normal time frame.  Next week  we will have our MAD Day workouts on Monday through Wednesday during our normal time frame, and we will have our Elmwood Football Team Penny Camp on that Thursday– (Time is TBD – Probably 10:30 – 12:30  at the RHS Football Field House)  ****Cost is 1 penny, No need to sign up, you will simply attend this camp.****       I had a couple of parents ask for the list of our summer events. Below I have placed this information along with our easy to follow  instructions for each event. I have made a slight change to the week of football practice on  August 13th - August 17th. That week is our teacher in service, as well as our Open House Night. So for that week we will make a simple change of having our practice time as 6 - 8 pm. The changes are indicated at the bottom of the list below.        As always you can stay updated on all Elmwood Raider Football information by visiting our web page at www.mountiesfootball.com, by visiting our Elmwood Raider Football Facebook Page, or by following me on Twitter at Ryan Hattier.

Elmwood Football Team Penny Camp – (Time is TBD – Probably 10:30 – 12:30  at the RHS Football Field House)  ****Cost is 1 penny, No need to sign up, you will simply attend this camp.**** -June 7th 4.    For or our 7 on 7 games -  we will play 2 tournaments at Springdale Southwest Junior High School on (July 9th, and July 23rd), and 1 tournament at Springdale Har-Ber High School on (July 16th).  The details are in the 7 on 7 attachment. Games will start at 8:00 am and end at 11:30. It is going to be a great time for our kids! We will try to beat the heat by having it early in the morning. On the mornings of our 7 on 7 tournaments we will meet at the front parking lot of Elmwood and travel to Springdale by school bus. We will meet at 7:00 am in order to be on time for our first game at 8:00. Previously I thought that we may have to car pool, but I was able to secure a bus for each of those dates. We might grab some lunch at Mad pizza on the way back so we will arrive back at Elmwood at around 12:30. We will be attending the tournament with Kirksey, and they will be taking the bus with us. It should be a lot of fun to meet up with the Kirksey players. For the first tournament we might need just a couple of parent volunteers to stay back with us just in case we are too crowded on the bus and we need to car pool a couple of players. I don’t think that this will be the case because I am going to try to secure a larger bus, but maybe for the first tournament we will plan on doing so. 5.
